He continued his career and became a successful salesman at RC Willey Home Furnishings.
In 1994, Carl and Eleisa moved to Springville, Utah. A year later, Carl decided to act on his ambitions of becoming his own boss and he worked with his brother, Flint, to open The Getaway (a furniture store) in Payson, UT in October of 1995. Carl ran it as a family business with his wife and children until the day he passed.
